Zhang said in several Chinese-language blog entries over the past week she’s been busy raising money for the deadly quake in China’s central Sichuan province, which has killed 55,740.

But she said she was surprised to find one group she solicited on the sidelines of the Cannes Film Festival in France knew little about the disaster.

Zhang said: “I was as angry as a mad women. I said, ‘Are you idiots? You are well-dressed people who look like you identify with society, but you don’t know what’s going on planet Earth. It’s incredible!'”

Zhang said she has made a pamphlet about the quake to show foreigners.

She said she donated 144,000 dollars and received a pledge of 100,000 dollars from Wendi Deng, the Chinese-born wife of media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
